We are pleased to announce a Special Issue of Computers & Fluids revolving around the SPH method and its development and application to fluid dynamics problems. This Special Issue will address SPH for flows in a wide sense.

Computers & Fluids is a multidisciplinary international journal. The term 'fluid' is interpreted in the broadest sense. Hydro- and aero-dynamics, high-speed and physical gas dynamics, turbulence and flow stability, multiphase flow, rheology, tribology and fluid-structure interaction are all of interest, provided that computer technique plays a significant role in the associated studies or design methodology. Applications will be found in most branches of engineering and science: mechanical, civil, chemical, aeronautical, medical, geophysical, nuclear and marine. 2016 impact factor of Computers & Fluids is 2.3.

Nanofluids are a new type of heat transfer fluid containing nanoparticles in the size range under 100 nm that are uniformly and stably suspended in a base fluid. Energy transportation of the nanofluid is affected by the properties and dimension of nanoparticles as well as the solid volume fraction. In numerical studies, various models can be utilized to investigate the nanofluid hydrothermal behavior. In this special issue, new computational fluid dynamic (CFD) approaches are presented for predicting nanofluid behavior. Various applications of nanofluid are presented in different field of science such as: mechanical, aerospace, chemical, civil and energy engineering. Papers focus on development of new numerical approaches to show the applications of nanofluids.

This special issue focuses on computational aspects of fluid dynamic researches, with an emphasis on contributions which increase the fundamental aspects of transfer processes and their application to engineering problems. This research topic welcomes novel inter-/multi-disciplinary works in the emerging area of aerospace, mechanical, chemical, civil and energy engineering. Manuscripts dealing with the implementation and development of a special technology for one of the above-mentioned engineering disciplines that are transferable to others also fall within the scope of this special issue.
Papers ranging from new physical models and discoveries to the correct treatment of difficulties inherent to modelling of related systems will be considered.
